Day One of our HES Winter Parent Engagement was a BLAST!
🎄 2nd Grade Christmas Tree Farm:
The 2nd grade hallway was packed with little lumberjacks as students proudly tried to sell their handmade Christmas trees to family members. Safe to say, they sold out quick — the lot’s officially empty!
🎩 4th Grade Wax Museum:
Meanwhile, our 4th graders transformed into well-known historical and modern figures. With the press of a “button,” these wax figures came to life, sharing all about their lives and accomplishments.
A huge thank you to our families for supporting our students on these special learning days. We couldn't do it without you!

Herrin Elementary is getting into the Christmas spirit! 🎄
Last Friday, HES students took part in their annual Hanging of the Greens, decorating the school trees with handmade ornaments. Each ornament showcases their creativity and spreads holiday cheer throughout the building.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at North Side Primary Center! 🎄
Some of our littlest learners celebrated the season last Friday during their annual Hanging of the Greens. Students hunted high and low for the perfect spot to show off their handmade ornaments!
